You could easily wake me up for Jalapeno poppers and Nachos. Always delicious! That’s why I came up with the idea to create a combination of the two. This spicy snack is baked in the oven, so no hustling with a frying pan. My last attempt turned out to be a disappointment, as the Cream Cheese started to drip out of the packages during the frying. It is no doubt possible to do this, but since not everyone owns a deep-fry pan and I do not want to take the risk of the dripping happening again, I will simply place them in the oven. And oh, thy were so deliciooouuussss! A Pepper Delight! ♥

What’s in the Basket

24 pieces

24 frozen wonton sheets

Half of a small chicken breast, flattened

10 pickled Jalapeño peppers, finely chopped

2 spring onions, finely chopped

Soft Cream Cheese, Philadelphia Naturel 180-200 gr

75 gr Cheddar cheese, grated

Salt, black pepper, spicy paprika powder

Butter, to bake the chicken

Melted butter, grease the oven tray

1. Lay the chicken breasts in between fresh foil and flatten the chicken by beating it with a rolling pin. The chicken will double in size and because the chicken is flat it is baked faster. Season the chicken breast with salt, pepper and spicy paprika powder on both sides. Heat the butter in a pan and bake on both sides until done

2. Preheat the oven on 200C.

3. Take the frozen Wonton sheets out of the refrigerator and let them defrost.

4. Whilst defrosting the sheets, start making the Cream Cheese while keeping an eye on the chicken as well. Stir the Cream Cheese slowly, together with the spring onions, Jalapeno peppers and the grated Cheddar. Salt and pepper is not necessary as the chicken is already well-seasoned.

5. Cut the baked chicken breast in small pieces and mix with the Cream Cheese.

6. Put the melted butter in a small bowl and place a Wonton sheet on a working board. Grease the borders of the sheet with butter and put a teaspoon of the filling in the middle.

7. Fold it into a triangle and press the rims well. You can also take the triangle in you hand while pressing the rims, if you find this easier.

Fold the bottom two corners to each other and press well. Grease the Wonton with a bit of butter; this will give it a pretty golden-brown colour.

Place them on a baking tin with greased baking parchment.

8. Bake the packages in 15 minutes. Every oven is different so keep an eye on them and as long as they’re not brown, keep them in the oven for a while.

Serve hot. Leave a few for yourself, because they are divine and before you know it, the bowl is empty!

♥ You can prepare the packages beforehand. But keep them in the refrigerator and take them out 30 minutes before you start baking.
